Material Detail

This affordable learning resource is being utilized in a Humanities and Communications course for undergraduate students by Dr. Ajit Abraham at California State University Monterey Bay. The affordable resource chosen for this course provides critical examination of philosophical ethics and other concepts central to how we evaluate our own and each others’ behavior and choices. This text examines some of the main threads of discussion on these topics that have developed over the last couple of millenia, mostly within the Western cultural tradition. The main motivation to adopt an affordable resource is to help save students money on costly textbooks. Students can access this OER resource via MERLOT.

The California State University and MERLOT have partnered to showcase how and why faculty have adopted Open Educational Resources (OER) to facilitate equitable access to their students’ course materials. This Faculty Showcase represent Open Educational Practices where faculty are sharing their "know-how" for adopting OER in their courses.
